E4 teen drama Skins is to become the first TV programme to film an episode especially for website MySpace.

Skins is made by Company Pictures and the one-off special has written by Max Gogarty, with Owen Harris directing.

E4 head Angela Jain said: “Skins is a huge hit for E4 and has established a young, dedicated community who engage with the series - on the channel and online.
“This special will give audiences a taste of what to expect from the second series.”
The first series of Skins, which has already been shown on E4, will re-run on Channel 4, starting on August 21.
